Executive Salaries in South Africa: Who Should have a Say on Pay? was launched at UCT on Monday 5th May. In the book, published by Jacana Media (Pty) Ltd, Kaylan Massie and Debbie Collier, from the Institute of Development and Labour Law, together with financial journalist, Ann Crotty, examine current trends in executive pay against the back-drop of the extreme levels of income inequality in the South African labour market. Mindful of the social dysfunction and economic inefficiency sustained by income inequality, the book explores multiple ways to begin to address the problem and to give a voice to the multiple stakeholders affected by the prevailing remuneration policies in South Africa.
